Hello all,

With all the parts stash I collected over the years it's time to put the five lug Fuch's on my narrow body, '74 picture below.

Attached Image

I have 6x16 front and 7x16 rear. The rears will be using a converted four lug to five lug hub w/ powder coated trailing arms and new bearings and bushings. I don't anticipate using any wheel spacers. The studs that I plan to use for the front rotors are the M14 x 1.5 x ?? screw in type. My question is, what is the length of the stud I should buy? Where can I buy them?

Any help would be appreciated.

How do you plan to widen the rear fenders? I don't think the 7x16's will fit without pulling the fenders out a bit.

Some cars fit them better than others but some tugging rolling WILL be required to get 205's on 7's back there.

205's on 6" are a better bet and still require a lip massage....

I've seen narrowed trailing arms done to fit 7's under stock fenders.. but thats a LOT of work.

Do you need some PMB 4 lug to 5 lug hubs? (Just surplus'd the set that was on my car....)
